[en] (Argentina) 73 Communique of ITS

We speak now to set something clear about a note made by TN, mass media from Argentina wich interviews Gaston Cavanagh, the journalist that contacted us in the frame of G20.

I. “Strange denomination”

We are Individualists Tending Towards the Wild, “Individualists” because our fight is for ourselves, not for the people, the mass or any oppressed group. We fight against civilization and humanity because their existence leads to the destruction of the wild nature of wich we are part of, many do not want to see, soon or later it will be evident as the way our specie lives is untenable, we are digging our own grave and the grave for the rest of forms of life of this planet. Even the scientists that work on behalf of the human progress are warning for decades the humanity about the consequences of their actions- We are living the sixth massive extintion of species in the history of this planet, bigger than the one that happened with the dinosaurs. In 2007, OUN announced that nearly 150 species are being extinguished every day, recent research upgrade that number until 900, meanwhile, only today 14.000 hectares of forest were cutted. For the humans the things are not much better, there are about 3.000 suicides every 24 hours en in the same time lapsus 22.000 die of cancer, the sickness of this modern era. Those numbers shows the hypocrisy of a society for wich “One death is a tragedy and a million deaths is an statistics”. In this contexts it should be not strange that some people choose to firmly stand against all this disgusting system. We already murdered 8, a dozens more were injured, this is NOTHING in comparation with the level of destruction reached by the techno-industrial system, wich in the time we spend writin this lines has taken more lives than our organization in its 8 years of life.

“Tending Towards the Wild” is about recover the actions of resistence of our native ancestors, for them it was obvious even more than 500 years ago that the arrival of those strange white men in their boats will bring only devastation and misery. Is about rejecting the morality imposed by society and value the natural over the artificial. Nowadays you can see all the kids on the “eco-radical” fashion, friendly to the mapuche struggle or defending fourth wave feminism, they go to demonstrations and write threatening post on social networks, were they promise revenge and death against “machos/specists/cops” or whatever other enemy of that moment. We walk on the street and see a disgusting institution that promotes nanotechnology, wich will be used afterwards for the domestication or destruction of nature and to perpetuate the harmful human existence, and instead of get rid of our frustrations on facebook/twitter or drowning them on drugs as the majority of leftist cowards do, we make a homemade bomb and place it on their door so they can feel the consequences of their actions. So, unlike the common person, we took a confrontational attitude towards the modern aberration in wich we live. You could get angry or condemn us in the media, in case of journalists you should do it. But on the inside, you know about what we are talking about, soon or later the account will be settled. When there is no more drinkable water to pollute, when the forests die, when seas and rivers became dry, you will realize that the madness was not to stand against to this way of life, but in perpetuate it.

II. Our war and our contradictions

We adress briefly this point in order not to be very repetitive. We use techonology, live normal lifes, we have smartphones, cars, houses, computers. Civilization with its way of life has dominated us, we do not have any illusions to change that and in the opposite, we use the advantajes of the civilized life (cronyism, aesthetic prejudices, indiscriminate solidarity, etc) to develope our terrorist activities. If we wanted to change the system by our consume choices as point the stupid proposal of the green fashion, it will be contradictory what we do, but our only goal is to spread the chaos, any mean is acceptable.

III. The invisible threat

Media is not clear about if they have to take us serious or not. The reactions of the States grow this “shadow” that covers our eco-extremist activities. In Mexico, were our brothers have been murdering human garbage since 2011, they choosed to ignore totally our existence, now that a populist party is on the government, probably this will continue being like it is. This on one hand gives more impunity to the groups that already showed their capacity to attack with military grade explosives like C-4 and dinamyte, various calibers firearms and even machine guns but in the other hand makes difficult, even if only partially, the spreading of the eco-extremist threat. In Chile they pass from focus all their efforts on find us, to deny our existence or plant weird conspiracy theories, this due to their total failure at the time of finding those who are now for more than 3 years mocking the national security agencies by attacking under their noses. In Argentina they gave widespread diffusion to our acts, but they retreat at the time of relate them to us and with our claims, we are thinking on strategies to reverse this situation.

In December 2017, we send a parcel-bombto the dean of UTN, in that moment we did not reveal this information as we had in mind to attack against him again, we change our mind after knowing that the authorities already known to who was adressed the parcel, this was something that was not published by the media and that we were able to know only because of our informants. The workers of Monte Grande mail branch told how the nuts and bolts fly like bullets after the blast drilling other parcels, and how the person nearest to the device fly because of the shock wave, one had the ear shattered, another one got injured on the shoulder. If the parcel-bomb was opened by Guillermo Oliveto on his desk and centimeters away from his body, as we planned it, it is not difficult to imagine what would happen. You can be afraid or ignore us, meanwhile the humanist dream flash away on the drain and the worst monsters still coming on the horizont.

IV. Proliferation of eco-extremism

Eco-extremism in Argentina has been an intermittent threat, in this last year we did not claim responsibility for any action, we did not attack but the threat is there, with the patience of the ancestors waiting for its arrival when you less expect it. For now was the turn of the Wilderness Secret Sociey and their attack that sowed panic in Brasilândia, followed by the bloody letter-bomb of the Horde and all the impact that has caused, our time is also about to come.

The other day I went to stand Before the mist shrouded monster I thought of his great power The divine terror I beheld the wake of his violence I thought of the little lives he took And I thought that we are not so different For the same violence of the old earth Dwells in […]

I think that there must be some cosmic beauty in the human being If all things are the many faces of that one great life, Then the strange and mysterious beauty of God dwells within us But one must withdraw from the heat of the writhing mass to see clearly To align our vision with […]

The sound of the October rain floods the dark forest The wind and rain are kin to the creeping death that swallowed the emerald wood And the splendor of summer lies down to rot on the forest floor To begin their radiant homecoming like an ocean of fire, all amber and gold Here is a […]

The trees mirror the great life of the cosmos, in their forms is the truth of the world This is why they are a source of a very deep kind of wisdom And why much can be learned from them by those who know how to listen In the million leaves of the old maple one […]

I think that there is in the singular splendor of dawn, A divine clarity, a view into the living heart of the world When one may sense in those sacred moments the presence of that one great life And know that the million things are the million faces of God The shifting hues of the […]

I. I suspect that there is in all things the presence of the divine But that at various times for various reasons it can be easier or more difficult to see It is clear in the quiet power of the young buck’s soft steps across the open field In the call of the crows circling […]

To sit beneath the emerald canopy and the great pillars of this rich earthen world To hear the lone call of the raven drifting across the clearing from the fog draped forest To watch the winds draw the undulating shapes on the surface of the still pond To feel the cool air in the lungs and […]

In the brilliant gold of the autumn evening, the last traces of the dying day Rake gently over a waterside scene The blades of grass bow delicately in a quiet breeze The low sound of rustling grasses fills the air, accompanied, By the rustling of leaves enlivened for one last dance before death takes them […]

For this is the way – the gift – of also knowing the nature of the rotten: human, animal, land. Of the need, sometimes, to cleanse, perchance to cull. Do not pity the writhing mass Neither are you to help what should die The sprawling depravity That spreads like a sickness on the face of […]

This world we have wrought would perhaps shock even Faust Trading what is great and beautiful in us and the world for our pyrrhic victories Losing our place between the great vaulted sky and the deep earth It was our gift to dwell in the glory of things, as a note in the sacred song […]

Note: Just some angry thoughts, nothing spectacular. I was thinking the other day about all of the hit-jobs written against eco-extremism and decided to throw up some quick thoughts about it. I’ve been around the tendency for some time now and have dedicated a lot of my time to it so I have seen a […]

I was having a conversation the other day and the topic of bombings came up, much to my excitement I will admit. The conversation eventually wound its way into a discussion on the motivations of bombings and beyond this into a discussion of extremist violence in general. As the conversation unfolded and afterward as the […]

“I cry trying to finish off my domestication, breaking the bonds of useless relationships, launching headlong into a war against civilization and its slaves.” – I and Afterwards I In the yard of the house where I live there stands the ancient marrow and weather-worn bones of a great Douglas Fir. Prior to the arrival […]

“May I ask how you confront your own domestication?” I was asked this question a while back by someone that I have crossed paths with and from the outset it has always struck me as an odd question. It seems to be all the rage among anarcho-primitivist circles to talk about “rewilding” oneself, “confronting one’s […]

The violence at the heart of the world is part and parcel of the beauty and the life of the whole. This is the way of things. The world cannot be sustained without this darkness, as it could not be without the light, or the endless play of their interpenetration and mutual determination. This is […]

Welcome, This is a new blog set up by one of the publishers of the now defunct La Manta Mojada, an archive which was dedicated to eco-extremist material. The site was erased by the anarchists over at the Blackblogs collective in their attempt to suppress any and all work associated with the tendency of eco-extremism. […]

This review originally appeared in Black Seed 6, Spring 2018 “We seem to move on a thin crust which may at any moment be rent by the subterranean forces slumbering below.” “From time immemorial the mistletoe has been the object of superstitious veneration in Europe.” —James Frazer Voy os pinos. I go to the pines. […]

I Saw the Man. His figure reached from earth to heaven and was clad in a purple mantle. He stood deep in foliage and flowers and his head, on which was the head-band of an initiate, seemed to disappear mysteriously in infinity. Before him on a cube-shaped altar were four symbols of magic — the sceptre, the cup, the sword and the pentacle. His right hand pointed to heaven, his left […]

“A hill there is,” answered she, “not far away from here, where elves have their haunt. Now get you the bull that Cormac killed, and redden the outer side of the hill with its blood, and make a feast for the elves with its flesh. Then thou wilt be healed.” —Cormac’s Saga The crops have […]

“This dew-like life will fade away”—Dogen “Truly, to be whole is to return”—Daodejing The only truth that exists is found deep in the forest, When the rush of the stream, swollen with spring rain, Drowns out the noise of the mind and the human world beyond. The proud, defiant self melts into oblivion, In […]

Observing the wreckage of the Second World War from his high tower on the Californian coast, Robinson Jeffers wrote, “Look, you grey stones: Civilization is sick: stand awhile and be quiet and drink the sea-wind, you will survive civilization.” Jeffers adamantly opposed American involvement in the Second World War and the poems he wrote during […]

I’m proud to join the editorial team of Black Seed magazine. This issue has a wonderful selection of essays and marks an exciting new direction for green anarchy and anti-civilization discourse. http://blackseed.anarchyplanet.org/2017/07/24/black-seed-5/

“Heaven and earth aren’t humane.”—Daodejing “Faeries dance in the meadow and the leaf-crowned Nacken plays his fiddle in the silvery brook.”—Stagnelius Let us reject the classic anarchist motto “no gods, no masters,” and proudly declare that the Earth and it’s Spirits are our Gods and Masters. By what right does humanity claim its independence from the forces? […]

I smelted iron bacteria in a short furnace and produced a small quantity of iron prills (small iron spheres). In my ongoing quest to reach the iron age, further experiments were conducted concerning furnace design and the treatment of ore. I began by making a very short furnace. A pit 25 cm wide and 25 […]

I developed an experimental cement from made only from re-fired wood ash as its cementitious material. It was mixed with crushed terracotta as an aggregate and formed into a cube. The cement set hard after 3 days and did not dissolve in water after this period. Process: First I burnt bark and leaves in a […]

I planted a yam in a large basket like enclosure and then 6 months later harvested, cooked and ate it. My previous attempts at growing yams were stymied by wild pigs and scrub turkeys. On learning that yams are in the area, these animals will seek out any tubers planted and eat them. So my […]

I made a blower and some charcoal at the new area in order to create higher temperatures in for advancing my material technology. I took Fan palm leaves and fashioned them into an impellor (about 25 cm in diameter) held in a split stick as a rotor. I then built a housing from clay (slightly […]

I built a round hut using palm thatch and mud walls to replace the damaged A-frame hut built a few months ago. The A frame hut was damaged due to torrential rain and poor design elements considering the wet conditions. The thatch had rotted in the part of the roof that gets shade. Moth larvae […]

At the old hut site (the new one being temporarily cut off by flooding) I made lime mortar from the shells of rainforest snails by firing them in a kiln, slaking them in water, mixing them into lime putty. Lime is basically calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The general source of lime is limestone and various other […]

I built an A frame hut as a large work space for projects. First I made a celt hatchet to cut timber for the hut. The axe head was made of amphibolite and the handle was made of a species of wattle. For the hut the floor plan was 4 X 4m. The height of […]

I made some pottery from the clay in the new area to see how well it performed. A large bank of clay was exposed by the side of the creek. I dug it out using a digging stick and took it back to the hut. Small sticks and stones were picked out of the clay […]

I bought a new property to shoot primitive technology videos on. The new area is dense tropical rainforest with a permanent creek. Starting completely from scratch, my first project was to build a simple dome hut and make a fire. First, I took some wood, Abroma mollis, for fire sticks. I knapped a small stone […]

I built a natural draft furnace to test ideas about how hot a furnace could get without the use of bellows. Natural draft is the flow of air through a furnace due to rising hot air. The hot gasses in the fuel bed are more buoyant than the cold air outside the furnace causing them […]
